Default How much power from low CR 355?

I'm going to be building a LOW CR 355 soonish and I'm shooting for 8.x:1 (probably be closer to 9.0 tho) Looking for some -22 cc pistons might have to go with -16

I'm planning on doing some either Trickflows from AI or their 200cc heads with a sizable turbo friendly cam. Keeping RPMs below 7k.

Haven't thought out the cam much. But I'd probably want more of a torquey cam.

Any thoughts on power while NA?

I'm going to run it like this for a few months while I save for the turbo necessities.

Theoretically, every point in CR is equivalent to 3% overall power. So not a huge deal. My buddy has a 383 LS1, ported heads, turbo cam and no turbo, lol. I think his car runs low 7's in the 1/8 mi.
